This palm-leaf manuscript written in Nepālākṣarā contains the complete Jñānadīpavimarśiṇī<\/i> of Vidyānandanātha, also known as the Tripurasundarīpaddhati<\/i> (even though there appears to be also a different work under this name: see for instance manuscripts under this name in the NGMCP catalogue, and a note to this effect by La Vallée Poussin, LVP Add.2248). The manuscript probably dates to the fourteenth or fifteenth century CE. The Jñānadīpavimarśiṇī<\/i> is a ritual manual covering rites related to the worship of the godess Triprasundarī of the Śrīvidyā<\/i> tradition. The author Vidyānandanātha was active in South India during the thirteenth century (Sanderson forthcoming), and is probably also the author of the Artharatnāvalī<\/i>, a commentary on the Nityāṣoḍaśikārṇava<\/i>.<\/p>", "logo": "http://cudl.lib.cam.ac.uk/themeui/theme/images/logo.svg", "@id": "http://cudl.lib.cam.ac.uk/iiif/MS-ADD-02248", "label": "Jñānadīpavimarśiṇī (MS Add.2248)", "sequences": [{ "canvases": [], "@type": "sc:Sequence", "@id": "http://cudl.lib.cam.ac.uk/iiif/MS-ADD-02248/sequence", "label": "Current Page Order" }], "@context": "http://iiif.io/api/presentation/2/context.json", "seeAlso": "https://services.cudl.lib.cam.ac.uk/v1/metadata/tei/MS-ADD-02248/" }
